<p>Reset file and folder permissions is a powerful yet safe WordPress plugin designed to help administrators reset file and directory permissions to their recommended secure values, and optionally reset file/folder ownership. This tool is particularly useful after site migrations, server changes, or when dealing with permission-related issues.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dual Functionality</strong>: Reset both permissions (0644/0755) and ownership (user/group) in separate tabs</li>
<li><strong>Ownership Management</strong>: Change file and folder ownership to the correct web server user (VPS/dedicated servers)</li>
<li><strong>Server Compatibility Check</strong>: Automatically detects if ownership functions are available on your server</li>
<li><strong>Batch Processing</strong>: Handles large directory structures efficiently with configurable batch sizes</li>
<li><strong>Real-time Progress</strong>: Visual progress bar with detailed statistics during processing</li>
<li><strong>Safety First</strong>: Multiple security checks and confirmations before making changes</li>
<li><strong>Selective Processing</strong>: Choose specific directories to process (entire site, wp-content, plugins, themes, or uploads)</li>
<li><strong>Smart Recommendations</strong>: Automatically detects and recommends the correct owner/group for your server</li>
<li><strong>Error Handling</strong>: Comprehensive error logging and reporting</li>
<li><strong>Responsive Interface</strong>: Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices</li>
<li><strong>Security Focused</strong>: Only administrators can use this tool, with proper nonce verification</li>
</ul>
<h4>Standard WordPress Permissions</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Files (0644)</strong>: Owner can read/write, group and others can read only</li>
<li><strong>Directories (0755)</strong>: Owner can read/write/execute, group and others can read/execute</li>
</ul>
<h4>When to Use This Plugin</h4>
<p><strong>For Permission Reset:</strong><br />
* After migrating your WordPress site to a new server<br />
* When files have incorrect permissions causing functionality issues<br />
* For security hardening when permissions are too permissive<br />
* When troubleshooting file access problems<br />
* During routine maintenance to ensure proper permissions</p>
<p><strong>For Ownership Reset:</strong><br />
* After migrating to a new server with a different web server user<br />
* When WordPress cannot write files or install plugins/themes<br />
* After manually uploading files via FTP with incorrect ownership<br />
* When troubleshooting “permission denied” errors despite correct permissions<br />
* When switching hosting providers or server configurations</p>
<h4>Safety Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Requires explicit confirmation before processing</li>
<li>Batch processing prevents server timeouts</li>
<li>Real-time progress monitoring</li>
<li>Comprehensive error logging</li>
